Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3343921A1] The invention provides a method and device for compressing a sequence of signed coefficients wherein coefficients are grouped, for each group, the greatest coded line index (GCLI) is determined, a quantization level t is applied and only the GCLI to t+1 weight bits of the coefficients are copied into the output stream together with the value of the GCLI. According to the invention, sign bits are not coded for coefficient having a zero quantized value. The invention also provides a method for determining a data budget required for compressing a sequence of signed coefficients, in dependence of a quantization level, and a method for compressing an image within the limits of a given data budget constraint. The invention provides a compressed data set coding an image in an efficient way.
